Blue curls are perfect for wildflower, pollinator garden
Blue curls (Trichostema dichotomum) are a great addition to a wildflower and pollinator garden. While short-lived, the herbaceous perennials create quite the show with numerous blueish-purple flowers from late summer into fall. The flowers attract pollinators such as bees, while birds like to eat the seeds. Blue curls can be paired with other wildflowers, such as red salvia (Salvia coccinea), Pineland heliotrope (Heliotropium polyphyllum), horsemint (Monarda punctata) or lanceleaf tickseed (Coreopsis lanceolata). Blue curls do best in full sun and dry soils and reseed readily.
